My missus brought home some of that Luxe Fitness protein that every "social media influencer" seems to drink in their waist high tights and crop top; it costs a shit load and it tastes absolutely shit....reminded me of how protein used to taste like 10-15 years ago.

On the other hand, I have the NZProtein Banana flavour at the moment and it is amazing, tastes like banana chip ice cream.

I didn't mean to be flippant with that comment, it inevitably happens from time to time if a business sends out a lot of items, so it's hard to tell if it's an isolated mix up or a regular incompetence from a single post.

Time to give NZMuscle a miss until they realise they have bitten off more than they can chew after the recent Shotgun buyout.

Last two orders have been pretty bad. Few months ago ordered some protein and pre-workout. Didn't get a shipping conformation after 4 days so contacted them via FB - they don't seem to answer their phones. They had incorrectly listed items as being in stock so changed my order; as well as there being an error in the ordering process - apparently my order didn't get printed and handed off to picking.

Gave them another shot on Monday. Ordered protein and pre-workout. No shipping confirmation so I try to call. No answer. Request a refund and get a phone call saying they don't have in stock what I ordered. Changed my order and they sent my stuff out and apologized due to not keeping up with the New Years sale orders.

Got my stuff and was pretty stoked they gave me a 5lb tub of protein instead of 1.6. Nice! Except the pre-workout is a giant cake of hardened powder along with the free sample of pre-workout they sent me, which is a worry because this hints that they are storing products in a damp environment.

An Xplosiv store has just opened up in Palmy so will buy stuff from them next.

Have been told that it's quite common for Defcon 1 to harden due to when two of the ingredients it has to come in contact. Was advised to just break it up. Apparently it happens to C4 as well, told them I've never had this issue with C4.
